EP04 - Violence and the Gender of Value ft. Priti Ramamurthy
6Description
How does labour get reproduced? When a worker comes home tired and hungry, how does that worker then get ready for the next day or next thing? Feminist economists have long pointed to the socially reproductive labour -- such as cooking, cleaning, and emotion labour -- that women do in the household. Is there a relationship between that kind of social reproductive labour that women do and the kind of domestic violence or abuse that they face? And what does it look like when you spread that across that urban and rural divide? What is women’s role in the political economy?
I'm joined by Dr. Priti Ramamurthy, to discuss her forthcoming paper co-authored with Vinay Gidwani, “The Gender of Value: Punctuated Violence and the Labor of Care.”
